The phrase "Crime Doesn't Pay", while true in most cases, when bad guys are successful in stealing any heavy equipment, it is not. If a thief is successful in getting away with a $64,000.00 Bobcat Skidskeer he can easily sell it to other semi-bad guys for a quick 10 or $20,000.00. Unless! You have cleverly installed a tracking device on your heavy equipment machinery.

Statistically, in Toronto, if your car is stolen you have an 80% chance of having it returned. When you have a piece of heavy equipment stolen your chances are only 10%. Sounds like contractors in Toronto might want to get with the program. Satellite GPS tracking is available now! And certainly well worth the expense, considering how much these incredible machines can cost! In fact, when one of those Bobcat Skidsteers belonging to a landscaping company in British Columbia was stolen, they had it back within an hour! Thanks to the vfence (Virtual Fence) Mike Lalonde, manager of Blue Pine Enterprises had installed on his machinery. The theft of the machine had triggered the device in Longview's alarm center. Mr Lalonde was immediately contacted, then the police were informed of the actual location of the Bobcat and it was recovered!
